Venus, I am not religious, but I do think of myself as having spiritual emotions. And I agree with lynn that we women do tend to take care of others, but aren't good at taking care of ourselves in kind.

I "pray" in my own way that others will find answers that bring them health. I have learned (taught?) myself that it is ok to "pray" for myself. I "pray" that I will find internal strength to overcome my issues. I "pray" that the gift of time will help me find solutions to the things in my life that cause me stress. I "pray" that my brain and heart will show me the way towards finding serenity and happiness in life.

So, I will "pray" or wish for you that you learn how and come to believe that it really is ok to ask for serenity for yourself.
